205Gti Graveyard

[jackflash 1]

hey all,

 

I didnt know where to post this so hopefully the moderators might move it!

 

Anyway yesterday i was driving through Suffolk England and passed through a small village called Leiston. I flashed past a garage and noticed 4 GTI's parked up. So i stopped. Turns out there was another 20 GTI's around the back all in various states of disrepair. Including 2 CTI's and 2 Dimma 1.9s. Ive never seen anything like it, absoluetly unbelievable. So I enquired about spares and the chap was more than happy to strip anything you might want. Has anyone else ever stumbled across this place--you will remember it if you have!

 

regards

Have bought some bits off him via ebay. Seems decent to deal with and send to northern scotland!

Discovered this place as a kid, it's been there ages. It's just down the road from my old house.

 

There's always a few 205s in the garage being tinkered with, never see any finished ones though!

 

I always go to him if I cant find what I want in a scrap yard.

 

Kerridges I think its called???
